Spanning time and land, Mattawa's Fugitive Atlas takes on a transcontinental identity much like the author himself. With a blend of long and short form poetry, Mattawa's eclectic collection takes a modern spin on contemporary and 20th century poetry in memorable, innovative ways. The jump between the present and past lends itself to capturing the complex experiences of a transnational, translational and boundless existence, and perhaps lays a blueprint for the world that we can strive to create.
